Leadership Lessons from the Battlefield to the Boardroom
As one of the most well-documented and studied battles in American
history, the Battle of Gettysburg offers a rich set of characters,
personalities, and examples of leadership decision-making that resonate
in many organizations even today.
In this edition of Smith Business Close-Up with the University of Maryland’s
Robert H. Smith School of Business, Greg Hanifee, talks about the Smith School’s
new leadership program in partnership with the Gettysburg Foundation.
The University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business has partnered
with the Gettysburg Foundation to develop customized leadership programs that
integrate lessons from the historic Civil War battle. The intensely experiential
programs will push participants to think differently about individual and
organizational challenges through engagement in action-oriented sessions, both
on the renowned Pennsylvania battlefield and in the classroom.
Smith Business Close-Up is co-produced by the Robert H. Smith School
of Business and Maryland Public Television. The television segment focuses on
the latest thinking in business management, and features in-depth interviews
with Smith School faculty and other members of the school’s community of
business leaders.
